Our latest collaboration with the talented Susi @sbantele.bsky.social and Jiri Lukas is out now @science.org 🤩. We reveal the hidden price for DNA repair, with potential implications for genome function, gene therapy and ageing👇

Does anyone know of a good textbook/review broadly on erythropoiesis? I'd love to hear your suggestions! 🩸 #hemesky #bloodsky

Ready to establish your own research group at the Hubrecht Institute for Molecular and Developmental Biology? We’re seeking a tenure-track group leader to develop an innovative research line within our vibrant scientific community. Learn more & apply! https://f.mtr.cool/jncxfqkuds

New method 🚀: scEpi2-seq lets us read DNA methylation+histone marks in the same single cell. Found that methylation “memory” after replication depends on chromatin+histones, and TF promoters repressed by H3K27me3 carry distinct methylation. So stoked to share this as first+co-corresponding author 🎉

Extremely excited to be in Kumamoto for #ISEH2025 and to share our work! We had a great start today with the new investigators workshop, and I cannot wait for the coming days! @isehsociety.bsky.social 🍡

🔥🔥🔥Out now: our Perspectives article in @nataging.nature.com outlining how aging is driven by molecular damage leading to increasing molecular noise whose quantification could track aging with the precision of a clock @meyerdh.bsky.social @alexeimaklakov.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Preprint alert! We combined microfluidics, proteomics, and RNA-seq to map spatiotemporal protein expression during mouse somitogenesis and found a novel regulatory strategy: dynamic antagonistic gradients fine-tune signalling strength. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

We've updated our biorxiv! Check it out if you're interested in a new technique co-profiling RNA and epigenetics in single cells, extended gastruloid culture, and our proposed model for an epigenetic timer determining sequential perceptiveness to different lineages! ➡️ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Finally, media you can *actually* eat! 😉🍪

If you want to know about Blood Stem Cell Aging, then THIS is the meeting to go to. I will be presenting the latest results of the Fraticelli Lab regarding HSC memories and clonal dynamics. JOIN US !!!!! ehaweb.org/connect-netw...

What if science is like solving puzzles? We spoke with @sonnenlab.bsky.social, a group leader who recently received tenure. She tells us about her journey, her research on signaling dynamics, and the challenges of leading a lab. Read her inspiring story here 👇 www.hubrecht.eu/ina-sonnen-t...

Excellent obituary summarizing the contributions of Dr Till's foundational work in defining the hematopoietic hierarchy in Experimental Hematology @isehsociety.bsky.social www.exphem.org/article/S030...

Excited to share our review on Hallmark of Stem Cell Aging! With Tom Rando and Peggy Goodell @goodell-lab.bsky.social!! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Excited our paper is out! G-quadruplex (G4) unwinding via an intricate G-loop assembly and disassembly mechanism maintains genome integrity. Pioneered by Koichi Sato with great collaborators Jing Lyu and @simonelsasser.bsky.social Check it out: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adr0493 🧵(1/4)

I’m excited to announce that my paper describing non-canonical mitotic mechanisms in the early mouse embryo is out in @science.org ! (link at end of 🧵)

🧬Postdoc position alert! 🚨 We're hiring a postoc in Computational Modeling of Epigenetic Inheritance at the Hubrecht Institute (Alexander van Oudenaarden, Utrecht 🇳🇱) & Danish Cancer Institute (Anja Groth, Copenhagen 🇩🇰). Come work in our collaberative team of top scientists shorturl.at/avBBy

I’m very excited to share our work on the early evolution of animal regulatory genome architecture - the main project of my postdoc, carried out across two wonderful and inspirational labs of @arnausebe.bsky.social and @mamartirenom.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

What governs where DNA replication begins in human cells? Here, we show that origins of replication in human DNA are epigenetically specified and that crucially, this epigenetic mark is required for both DNA replication and cell proliferation! @narjournal.bsky.social academic.oup.com/nar/article/...

My first post on Bluesky! Very excited to share our work just published in @science.org. We find that “Interphase cell morphology defines the mode, symmetry, and outcome of mitosis” - in angiogenesis and other tissues! www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1... www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Want to learn more about chromatin and its dynamics? Read this review by Charlotte and Jolijn in our lab, aimed at giving an overview on this and the ways this is dealt with during transcription, replication and damage repair. Thanks to Biochemistry for inviting us! doi.org/10.1021/acs....

SAVE THE DATE! The next EMBO | EMBL Symposium on 'DNA replication and genome maintenance: from basic biology to disease' will be held October 20-23, 2026.   Organized by Helle Ulrich (IMB), Johannes Walter (Harvard) and Anja Groth (Danish Cancer Institute). www.embl.org/about/info/c...

Pre-print alert!! Did you know that exploration of loss and gain of eQTL regulation in normal versus disease condition from scRNAseq can reveal pos-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms (e.g. miRNA)? Have a look at our work, led by awesome @tdwinter.bsky.social, in which we focus on human islets.

Your outie's code works on the first try

Happy to share this concise review and outlook for single-cell sequencing methods to unravel cell biology of the nucleus! Big shoutout to my friend and former colleague Peter Zeller for sharing the work! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Several new technologies have enabled translation profiling in single cells. In our article in @natrevmcb.bsky.social, Alexander and I discuss these single-cell methods for measuring ribosome profiles, ribosome-associated transcripts, and spatial translation 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Congratulations @fmattiroli.bsky.social and thank you for being an inspiration to all of us 🌟
